September

Sep 7th to 13th
Satori facilitated by Sw. Avikal (In English language only)
Satori is a radical inquiry. It is going under the skin, in the heart and in the belly to see and feel what is in the way of being oneself.
What is my true nature? How do I lose myself or feel that there is not all of me present in this here and now? What is this emptiness that terrifies me? What is this restlessness that pushes me to do and do and do? What is this longing for being more real, truer and complete? What am I doing here?
Self-inquiry means to open and unsettle the mechanism that destroys the present by repeating the past. It means to be in the present, in the here and now.
The aim of this retreat is having this direct experience of being, an experience of awakening, and an experience of no - mind.
Satori is not therapy - but is highly therapeutic - It is an intense, honest, open and compassionate inquiry using existential questions: “Who am I? Who is in? What is Life? What is Love? Each one of these questions is a path that can take you from the confusion of the personality to the peak of clarity.
“Satori is like lightning – you can see a glimpse of the whole, all that is there, and then it disappears. But you will not be the same again. It is not final enlightenment, but a great step towards it. Now you know. You have had a glimpse, now you can search for more of it. You have tasted it, now Buddha’s will become meaningful”. Osho, ‘And the Flowers Showered’

Sep 17th to Oct 7th
Gurdjieff Sacred Movements- Teachers training facilitated by Ma Prem Amiyo and Sw. Prem Chetan (Advanced Level)
A meditation through movement, an intensive retreat of self-observation and self-remembrance, through the practices of Gurdjieff Movements, as well as the didactic and pedagogic knowledge for those who wish to become a movement instructor. This path is a beautiful opportunity to learn to take distance from our mechanical emotions and belief-patterns and to enter intimately in contact with the richness of our body, its energy and our potential. According to Gurdjieff, the movements are coming from an ancient science rather than an art, aiming at bringing in our daily life some harmony between our three centers : physical, emotional and intellectual.

It is very special to have the opportunity of bringing together both Indians and Westerners in this Retreat, bringing Tantra back to its source in the Himalayas. Indians have the opportunity of proudly embracing their phenomenal spiritual heritage. As east and west melt together in this group, we discover the power of Tantra to create a union of opposites, bringing enrichment to all.

Nov 21st to Dec 4th
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Training facilitated by Sw. Antar Khirad.
The human body is a living Temple. Connecting with the body, being aware of it and cleansing it from blockages is vital to the physical, mental and spiritual health of all human beings.
In this Therapy Training we will be working with two ancient sciences of India – Yoga and Ayurvedic Massage. This massage combines deep penetrating strokes with yoga based stretches, which are gentle, orderly and progressive. The postures are adjusted to meet the conditions and needs of each receiver. The massage is done with special herbs and oils to stimulate blood circulation and help release toxins. Other benefits of this massage include, improving posture, breathing, flexibility, mobility and restoring energetic balance.
You will be giving and receiving massage within the group and also training in yoga theory and will practice basic Asanas, Pranayam and Shudhikriya.
Osho says, “Massage is to come to rapport with aliveness of somebody else’s body and to feel where it is missing, to feel where the body is fragmentary and to make it whole…to help the energy of the body so it is no more fragmentary, no more contradictory. When the energies of the body are falling into line and become an orchestra, then you succeed.”
We invite you to join us to learn this sacred art and share this sensitivity with others.

Nov 24th to 28th
Rising in Love facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
A workshop to meditate, become more sensitive and understand to evolve into a space of friendliness, as Osho points out: Friendliness is the purest thing you can conceive about love. It is so pure that you cannot even call it a flower, you can only call it a fragrance.
He adds: Friendliness is a quality not a relationship. It has nothing to do with anybody else, it is basically your inner quality. You can be friendly even when you are alone. You cannot be in friendship when you are alone - the other is needed - but friendliness is a kind of fragrance. A flower opens in the jungle, nobody passes by - still it is fragrant. It does not matter whether anybody comes to know of it or not, it is its quality.
